Brick matching

[reb78]

We are rebuilding a chimney stack. I need to get a similar colour match to the bricks in the pic below which is the other stack. Nowhere seems to stock anything similar. Can anyone match these to anything thats likely to be available?

reclamation yards

I'm not convinced those bricks on the stack in the pic are that old as i would wager this was rebuilt when the annexe was added about 25 years ago. So... nit sure I will find these in a reclamation yard. I also dont have time to.go trailing round them currently (unfortunately as they are quite fun)

There's a place in Luton that has hundreds on display, just need a sample.

They look like ordinary semis to me.

Looks like a regular London common.

They look very like some "Engineering" bricks that I was sold about 25 years ago.
I still have plenty of unused ones, but you will need to collect.

They look to smooth, more consistent in colour and somewhat orange to me to be either?

Quite a lot of bricks are regional ..is there a spare brick anywere else on the property or one that could be liberated with not much hassle ?
If you have one in your hand find the local-ish big brick yard / merchant its likely then can advise you and assist
In fact when you liberate one it may have some details to help you or those you are asking to help

I dont suppose one could knock a brick off the top for further inspection??????????????????????????????????
Knock off the muck and you might see a name or ref number,give you something to go on
Engineering bricks i'd say no
But Flettons did do something like em
I'm working on my early days back in the 80's of demolition the memories of cleaning up bricks to be stacked and resold will never leave me

I would have asked for Red Engineering Bricks.
I got them from Edinburgh Brick Yard that used to be off Gorgie Road but wasn't there last time I looked.

Thing is, the stack we are taking down doesnt currently match. But it would be tidy if it did when we rebuild it - to the one in the picture, so I am reluctant to touch that!
